Qizx Engine
support XQuery, XML documents indexed in Qizx have an
internal representation that complies with the XQuery/
XPath 2 data model.
• The logical structure is fully preserved and documents
can be exported back into XML without information loss
(except for physical details like entity boundaries and
CDATA sections).
Query
• Qizx works with a cost-based query plan optimizer that
exploits indexes automatically and detects and optimizes
most types of joins.
• Qizx offers a complete and efficient XQuery
implementation, and supports XQuery Update and
XQuery Full Text extensions.
Metadata querying
• Qizx allows attaching metadata to documents by
associating user-defined properties with documents and
collections without modifying content.
• Property values can have basic types or XML fragments
and are efficiently queried through XQuery or the Qizx
API.
• Qizx supports searching both XML and simple type
metadata properties.
Embeddable engine
• Qizx is written in Java and can be integrated into a
standalone application.
• It can also be used in the J2EE environment and conforms
to the Java J2EE Servlet API.
• Qizx offers a simple, ready-to-use server based on HTTP
protocols, which makes it usable by applications written
in a variety of languages.
• C++ and Python bindings are included for database
access
